What yall shootn deer with?

125s at subsonic velocities? I've got some hornady110 vmax loaded over a full case of trail boss, but I haven't tested them on a critter yet.

Nope. Supersonic for Deer and Antelope. Subs on plains Deer would be a treat as getting within 150 yards is a huge challenge.

Hell its the exact opposite around here, unless you hunt feilds or power lines you won't get a shot more than 30-40yd. I shot one 2yr ago at about 15ft. Hell there could be a whole herd of deer 100yds away and you would never know it.

I have only killed 5 deer. my first 3 were with .308 winchester. My last 2 with subsonic .300 blackout, loaded with 178gr amax at 935 fps. Then the one my daughter took with the .300 blackout. I cannot legally hunt with a suppressor in NC, but the main reason I use the subsonic is none of the shots i have taken a have been more than 50 yds. Another reason is just because I want to prove that it can be done, that it is more about shot placement than anything else. Even without the suppressor it is not that loud. Unless I am hunting a place where I can get a shot more than 200yds I will be shooting subsonic using either my buddies low velocity expanders. or a 200gr or heavier lead or jacketed bullet.

Since I have currently 2 .300 blackout uppers someone will get to use one shooting super sonic, either the same one my daughter did or a 155gr cast bullet going 2000fps. By next year I hope to have a 9 to 10 1/2 inch .300 blkout barrel for my sbr.

Had a buddy last year kill 3 on the last day of the season in less than 15 minutes with a .30-06

Personaly I don't see the point of super sonic Whisper loads. I built mine to be quiet, if I wana make noise I use the 30-06. Not knockn any of you guys that shoot the light fast bullets I just like the heavy slow ones. What I really like is shootn a deer and havin another one walk up 10min later.
